Any Moms w/ 6 year olds -- need advice

My son had a friend over, a boy same age. I went into his room and they were on his bed doing "pretend sex" ... Omg. I have no idea what to do, none. I googled it and nothing comes up.

I asked him if he liked boys or girls and he did say girls. They had clothes on and stuff was covered but omg omg omg. Please, I am being 100% totally honest, not joking. What do I do how do I handle the situation? Im sitting in my car trying to come up with something :(

In a nice calm voice...let him know it is inapropriate to be doing this type of activity. Ask him how he learned about the activity and if he has any questions. This is type of thing is considered to be very normal to happen with children of the same age group. We have experienced something similar. It is a very uncomfortable thing for parents to go through. The pointing at pictures saying stuff like "boobs!" is not much better. Even if your child is sheltered, somehow they all still do this. You ahve done nothing wrong as a mother. You can do what you need to to try to help prevent future inapropriate activities.

It's normal for kids that age to "play Doctor". Maybe the other little boy walked in on his parents and thought he should "share" his knowledge? At this age it has nothing to do with homoexuality as much as it is curiousity about bodies. Don't flip out on him, you don't want him to think his body and sex are shameful things. Just have a talk with him about. matter of factly. Let him know that is something mommies and daddies do together, and it is not for children to do or play.

And this is a good time to have the "our bodies are private" talk, so he knows he should never be forced into that kind of play. If you are planning on telling the other mom...because the other kid might...just tell her mmater of factly what they were doing and that you out a stop to it. I know it caught you off guard and freaks you out at first, but it is really not that big of a deal. And if the boys play together again, remind them that kind of play isn't appropriate, and play dayes will stop if it keeps up. And also ask him if he has any questions...he might, after that. That way you are at least in control of what he knows. If he is capable of asking, it is okay to give an age appropriate response. It'll be okay momma!

Omg really pieple. Sorry OP, if this is really true I feel for you and you should consider seeking couseling for your son if you don't know how to handle it. Wouldn't want him doing this to another boy.
